  • Weirdo gives $4000 to charity so he can smash cheap guitar signed by Taylor Swift
  • If I throw my money away to simp on a e-girl I'll see some boob. Donny wouldn't even give dumdum over there the time of day.

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
  • Banning everyone takes a bot, which is rate limited. Same with a trash flood.

    Automod though, you can easily set to do things like remove all new comments and submissions, remove stuff on one report (which lets you use the argument no one really believes that you're letting the users have more control.), allow new submissions but lock every comment section, or allow only select users to post, whether based on karma, username, flair, etc.

  • Old folks are retired, thus more free time, and I'm guessing there's a bit of civic duty imprinted on them as well.
